Franklin Falls

We headed out early enough so that we were at the Franklin Falls trailhead before the multitudes. I took a family with two children, 6 and 9, who are just beginning to hike. It was a perfect introductory hike. Great trail with a fantastic destination! Afterwards we drove up to the Hyak exit at Snoqualmie Pass and drove down the road west of the interstate to the light pole, turned left into one of the hidden gems of Snoqualmie Pass....the Gold Creek Pond interpretive nature trail and picnic area. It is about a mile from the Hyak exit. A perfect ending for two youngsters.
